Life can take so many twists and turns but creativity and the process of being creative has always weaved its mysterious way through my life. It has ebbed, flowed and at times crashed its magic into my every day.  Working to its own rhythm, it has revealed itself in many ways,  always helping me to remain present to take notice and shown me the way forward.   

Trusting it, living it, loving it but mostly believing in it has truly been my greatest awakening and gift.  

So more and more, what I have found, is that beneath the surface of the everyday, lies a rich inner world just waiting to be explored. By using the inspiration of my daily sea walks and working as a Rural Development Officer in Co Wicklow, the  landscape of the Garden county, constantly gives me a rich outer and inner resource that feeds my paintings.

Its just always been there – sewing !! I remember even as a really small child, with just about enough height to see over the table, I watched my mum sew. All our clothes back then were handmade by her, with such love and care and I know that she poured her creativity into making them for us. A washing line of pure handmade colour is a memory a lot of neighbours back then commented on!! She certainly passed on that joy to me and a sewing machine has always featured in my life!
